OT: Fluffy is correct. The joke was supposed to be on Gold Seeker, not Erthang. In particular, I thought GS's silly analysis of Erthang's posts cited factors that are completely irrelevant to Biocurex. So I tried to cite another absurdly irrelevant factor (that of sexual orientation) to demonstrate this absurdity. And I added the extra exclamation points to show the absurdity of GS's "analysis" of Erthang's use of punctuation.
While others may be tempted to condemn Erthang for lacking a sense of humour, his misinterpretation perhaps just shows how poor a medium the Internet newsgroup is for conveying humour.
I am much less comfortable with the implications of some of his specific remarks, such as that being gay is bad, gays are a threat to children, and that ordinary working folks who must pick up a shovel in order to earn a living are stupid. I would expect that quite a large number of people would be offended by these suggestions. Even so, it would be unreasonable to expect any sort of consensus on those large issues on an Internet newsgroup devoted to the discussion of a stock investment.
I do hope Erthang gets his sense of humour back before our beloved stock skyrockets, because otherwise partying with him in Rome is going to be a drag.
